Chapter 566

Worse still was the image burned into Trina’s mind.

Sydney and Andrew were sitting there, eating that incredible food, while she was stuck with instant noodles that gave he constipation.

The more Trina thought about it, the angrier she gat.

How dare they eat without her! And they didn’t even save her a bite!

Her chest was burning.

“Trina, don’t be upset,” Ryker said quickly, hovering at her side. “I’ll talk to them. I’ll make this right for you. Just eat something first.”

He looked ready to march into battle.

That softened Trina’s expression a little. She took the cup of noodles with a huff.

“Fine.”

Meanwhile, at the far north corner of the rooftop where no one else could hear them, Marvin listened to Sydney and Andre recount everything.

“They really said there’s a league out there?” he asked slowly.

“Yes.” They nodded in perfect sync.

“Mr. Ortega, she’s not a bad person,” Sydney added quickly. “Back on the fourth floor, a zombie came at us from behind. Sh the one who saved us.”

“And we smashed her truck,” Andrew admitted. “She didn’t even do anything to us.”

Marvin’s expression tightened.

He had crossed paths with Hayley and Griffin before. While he was running straight down the road trying to escape, he hadn managed to dodge in time and ended up being clipped by Hayley’s harvester. There hadn’t been a trace of civility in her

He had only shouted a few insults, and she immediately hurled zombie remains at him.

Her ruthless reaction made him seriously doubt whether anything Hayley said could be trusted. Was she trying to our his innocent, good–natured students into some kind of trap?

“Alright,” he said finally. “Go eat. I need to think.”

“We’re good,” Sydney said, palting her stomach “We already ate Her food was amazing

Andrew let out a small burp

Marvin stared at them, at a loss for words

“We would’ve saved you a bite, but she made us eat if there We didn’t want it to go to waste you to me and, right

Marvin rubbed his temple “No You did line ”

Relief flooded their faces

satisfied breath.

Just then, footsteps approached.

“You went too far!”

Hayley lazily lifted her head. A tall teenage boy stood in front of her, around five feet ten, his jaw set tight.

“Who are you?” she asked.

“I’m Trina’s best friend. You owe her an apology,” he said arrogantly.

Hayley blinked once. She almost laughed.

Griffin, sitting beside her, actually did.

“You got any idea who you’re talking to?” he asked with a lazy grin.

“I don’t care who you are,” Ryker shot back. “You were wrong, so you should apologize!”

Griffin’s grin widened. “Did you use to have a pet dog?”

“What?” Ryker frowned. “How’d you know?”

“Because you’re acting like one.” Griffin leaned forward slightly. “A loyal one.”

The realization hit a second later.

“Are you calling me an animal?” the boy snapped, face flushing.

“I’m giving you advice,” Griffin said smoothly. “Don’t build your whole personality around chasing someone who won’t even look your way. Standing up blindly for someone else doesn’t make you noble. It just makes you easy to use. She doesn’t appreciate your effort. She probably just thinks you’re an idiot.”

He tilted his head, his smile handsome and sharp.
